    Why we think it’s a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible’s history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners. We hear the print book’s not bad, either. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another.

    For example, no one would be able to have a drink in public (or legally, in private) in Mississippi in the early 60s. It was a "dry" state.

    Mike Wingate had a rough childhood  —  he was abandoned at a playground at four years old and raised in foster care. No one ever came to claim him, and he has only a few, fragmented memories of his parents. Now, as an adult, Mike is finally living the life he had always wanted  —  he’s happily married to Annabel, the woman of his dreams; they have a precocious eight-year-old daughter, Kat.

    Story

    An implausible plot with a spoiled brat of a child and head lice--over dramatized. I cannot believe I listened to the whole thing. I kept hoping it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Usually I can trust the review summaries, but this was a terrible disappointment. Trying to think of something positive, the author certainly has a creative imagination!

    Weak prose and a superficial plot.
